There are clearly genocidal statements from Israeli leadership.

Bezalel Smotrich, finance minister, for example: "We need to encourage immigration from there. If there were 100,000-200,000 Arabs in the Strip and not two million, the whole conversation about the day after [the war] would be completely different".

Remember, these are people whose entire nation is Palestine. He's certainly not suggesting that Palestinians be accepted as refuges in Israel, and he has also been actively taking land in the West Bank, so is not proposing they go there either. In the Knesset in September 2021 he told an Arab Knesset member: "You’re here by mistake, it’s a mistake that Ben-Gurion didn’t finish the job and didn’t throw you out in 1948".

The most charitable interpretation of this so far is that he only wants a "forcible transfer of population" (Article 7 of the Rome Statue of the ICC - a crime against humanity) instead of a genocide. However, those statements can be coupled with actions:

* While people in Gaza were suffering famine, he issued an order blocking flour into Gaza.
* Half of Gaza's population is squeezed into a tiny corner, Rafah, by Israeli actions. Smotrich has called for: "No half jobs. Rafah, Deir al-Balah, Nuseirat, total and utter destruction". So he is calling just there for killing half of the Gaza population, which he has made clear, he doesn't want to continue to exist in Gaza.

I think all of this together is quite solid evidence that Smotrich is inciting genocide with intent to destroy at least part of the Palestinian nation. Others are even more extreme. For example, Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu suggested dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza to wipe out everyone there.
If you're declaring an object on the stack, then there is no reason to be using a pointer to refer to it. You could take the address of it and assign that to a raw pointer if you wanted to for some (perverse!) reason, but you'd never then assign that to a shared/unique_ptr since that implies ownership.

T t1; // stack, reference as t1

T* t2 = new T(); // heap, raw pointer, reference as * t2

std::unique_ptr<T> t3 = std::make_unique<T>(); // heap, smart pointer, reference as * t3

T* pt = &t1; // Create a raw pointer to t1! Bad idea!
I slightly disagree.

There are lot of problems that are not identified as “easy” before someone tries to solve them.

Hence, “identifying” step is often required to find the low hanging fruits.

One catefory for these types of issues is “Complex root cause analysis, easy fix”

So there might be a “medium severity” issue - something that is not business-lethal - and that appears hairy enough that everybody just avoids it. Then someone spends some time digging into it and finds it’s some arbitrarily small change that fixes it.

These things happen more often than not.

The trick here is to look at the problem long and hard enough and realize a small change will fix it - instead of doing something completely tangential and complex to circumvent the problem.

These problems fall into the class of “anyone could have fixed it” but only the person who fixed it actually did the hard work of figuring out the root cause.
Yeah, I feel OP is ignoring the magic of in-context learning in their slightly reductive view on how LLMs work.
That would do it, I am indeed.
I always found rdp on Linux far easier to use than all that X11 network stuff. I think it was a neat idea to have it built-in, but also never quite worked all that smoothly in my experience and really does complicate things quite a lot. Sometimes the practicalities of neat ideas don't really work out unfortunately.
I don’t think “they hate Jews” is a meaningful simplification from “the idea of living peacefully next to a Jewish state is abhorrent.” If your argument is more nuanced, you are doing a poor job communicating it.

Anyway, I’ll play ball. First of all, Israel controlled Palestinian movement into and out of the Gaza strip for years before Hamas came into power.

In 2000, during the Second Intifada, Israel closed Yasser Arafat International Airport — the only international airport in Gaza. The next year they destroyed it.

In 2005, Israel withdrew all settlements from Gaza out of concern that if the Palestinian population kept growing, it would threaten Israel’s ability to be a Jewish state.

In 2006, Hamas was elected in Gaza with a plurality of the vote. After the U.S. and Israel backed the previous incumbents Fatah in an attempted coup, Hamas seized full control of the Gaza strip. This is about when Israel imposed the full blockade.
I’ve only heard that called “the DMV,” but I’m not from there.
> Personally, speaking as a Japanese-American who has done amateur translations (anime fansubs) at one point, being a translator is terrible; the absolute worst thing about it is that the work is thankless. Whoever reads your translations simply can't appreciate quality

I'm surprised that you feel that way, because I've always associated the anime community with caring very strongly (not always correctly, but always strongly) about the translations. Hence the fansubs in the first place. It's only really a thing for anime in the first place; there aren't many people fan-translating Spanish telenovellas or Kdramas into English, for example.

> Accuracy and reading well are secondary to speed. Time is money.

Looks like AI will accelerate this tendency. We'll get more, cheaper, but worse, translations. Which I see as a qualified good, since it means more amateur and "long tail" from other languages can make it to the English Internet.
Well, I'd kinda like to have some idea of what I'm getting before I download it. Otherwise, why even bother?

You are asking users to commit a certain amount of time, effort and resources to testing out your software. The least you could do is set some expectation other than "LOL, n00 S0ftW4rez, yo. CZekkit, b1tches!".

Discovering devices on a network is a critical task for network administrators and security experts. In this article, we will learn how to perform ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) discovery using the Python Scapy library and explore how we can use it to find devices on the network.
Because an excess of stamps can't feed, clothe, or educate someone. It can't help house someone and it can't save someone's life.

Money on the other hand can do much more good not sitting in the bank account of someone who has more of it than they could ever spend. So keeping it in there for the purpose of 'scoring points' is seen by many, myself included, as obscene.

Also, I disagree that collecting money is the only hobby that would receive this criticism. Personally I would also find it obscene to collect insulin, clean water, and residential housing to name a few.
How do you know those two channels are "fake" or "scammers"?

I think I have a good eye for these things and worryingly they just look like the normal low effort youtube chaff but I wouldn't have thought fake/scamming.
When grief and AI collide: These people are communicating with the dead
Getting better, but from such a poor starting point that we're still awful.

"Not merely paint" is a really low bar.
You make it sound binary. We have a thought process ongoing at all times - sometimes we wait to respond for that process to accumulate more information, and sometimes we fire off right away, but the information processing engine is running in the background regardless.
Whatever you're doing with AI is not going to be fast enough to use in my jq pipelines, not to mention it's likely sensitive and I'm not sending it off anywhere for processing.
well, yes, exactly. once i realized that, my reaction was: why thank you github, you just made my one factor auth more complicated for little gain. well, ok, i don't store the otp with the password, so cracking the password became a bit more complicated too. but for example committing code doesn't require otp and my browser has me permanently logged in, so where exactly is the added safety now?

as for the lost identity. a new user could at least share a warning. that user doesn't have to be trusted to get others to be more vigilant and scrutinize the code very carefully as eg was done with XZ once the issue was discovered. imagine an unknown user would have alerted the community that the maintainer account was compromised or locked out. they could have reached out to people who know them to verify their identity and to corroborate the claim. it would be a long and tedious process, but at least any attacker would be prevented from getting any further advantage too.

it could still mean loss off the maintainership and loss of users, but i can also host my projects in multiple places so that only part of my known and verifiable identity can get compromised at once.

in the end it's partly security theater, partly arms race, partly an improvement through raised awareness...
I think your assumptions around points A and B are both potentially mistaken.
It's a simplification. There's nothing "bad" about infant formula, but its clearly an ultraprocessed food that uses powdered milk that removes larger molecules from the milk. Sure, breast milk is better in most cases.

Aside: BF is better mostly because it adjusts based on what the infant needs with the biofeedback component. Pumped milk is shown to be equal to formula because it breaks the biofeedback loop.

There are tons of other uluraproessed foods that are fine too, and in certain cases great that we can manufacture them because they are beneficial in other ways.

The elephant in the room is high calorie ultraprocessed food designed for fast consumption.

In general, I'm on board, (I only eat real bread) but sometimes the people who rail against this stuff come off like luddites.

Now, I do think they should have put out an official statement pointing out the unreliability of the interviewee rather than simply yanking the video but a single unreliable witness interviewed in a tumultuous event which is promptly dropped seems to fall well short of establishing a lie. All news organizations interview people who turn out to be wrong or misleading, so we’d want to see more than a single interview to establish whether there’s a pattern of poor vetting or running a story after evidence has come forth that the witness is unreliable. The public has rather strongly expressed a desire for immediate news coverage rather than waiting for lengthy review and corroboration.

How to work full-time without a salary, a.k.a. do FOSS
What I mostly meant was that for people who prefer to use X11, that will probably remain viable for a long time, without any Wayland. There's this notion that X11 is "deprecated" and that "no one is maintaining it", but the reality of it is far more nuanced. The main "flag day" will probably be when toolkits start shifting away from X11 to Wayland only, and applications start using them (there's usually big lag between release and widespread adoption of new GTK versions and such).

Some qualified language in all of the above, because hard to predict the future etc. etc.
Not all LLM models are remote. You can do just fine with local ones.
Really cool. Had a lot of people reach to me because of this.
This is great news, and I hope Sony gets some well-deserved praise for this. I'm generally not pro-corporate, or pro-tech company in any context. However, when a company compromises to please its customers, that behavior should be rewarded; the worst thing that could happen ideologues could continue trying to turn the screws.

That last paragraph destroys your whole argument.

If you really believe that Google and FaceBook (etc, etc) hire morons who don't care if their code works, then you are not qualified to talk about programming languages.
Those are 2 lisp tools not unlike Ansible:

* [Consfigurator](https://spwhitton.name/tech/code/consfigurator/) - Lisp declarative configuration management system. You can use it to configure hosts as root, deploy services as unprivileged users, build and deploy containers, and produce disc images. [GPL3][2].

* [cl-unix-cybernetics](https://github.com/cl-unix-cybernetics/cl-unix-cybernetics) (previously Adams) - UNIX system administration in Common Lisp. Not unlike Ansible, Chef or Puppet. [ISC][22].
- You describe your systems (hosts) using resources having properties. The properties are then probed and synchronized using only /bin/sh on the remote host, and /usr/bin/ssh on the control host.

Really, objectively, I am wondering what on Earth any country X would do faced with a statement from an enemy Y as in :-

The complete and utter destruction of X as an essential condition for the liberation of Y and the establishment of a religious state based on [ Y's religious theocratic laws ]

Any form of coexistence is clearly not on the table. For the context please read the link in the Atlantic article.
This is the fine line all parents walk.

On the one hand, I agree that it is important for children to learn that manipulation is not the best way to get the things that they want. On the other hand, I think it is also important for them to learn that they can trust their parents to be there for them when they truly feel they have a problem, even if it isn't physical pain, and even if it is really quite silly. But you don't want them to learn that they can't trust you, because someday they might have problems that aren't silly.

Today it might be "the socks you picked out for me aren't the right color and the boys at school will make fun of them". But tomorrow it might be a developing drinking or drug problem or early signs that a romantic interest is becoming abusive. If they learn they can't bug you about the socks, they might also learn that they can't bug you about those things either.
One of the big selling points of VS code is nowadays the plugin eco-system. How is that with Zed?
How is the parent comment [flagged] yet this one is not?
I love the angle of them realizing that they had a hit with the users, even if the financial side wasn’t a hit, and working to bring that back even if that means bringing in a partner in to make it work. This is how I wish Google would go about things instead of just straight up murdering projects even if they do make money because they need to move talent bigger cash cows.

Honestly would never see something like this writeup from MSFS add-on developers. They are a protective bunch who share nothing with each other. This is in contrast to X-Plane add-on developers, who are friendly and collaborative.

I asked for studies on the reliability of VAERS data about the Covid vaccines.

RCTs are just one brick of the science building. And of the plenty you think exist, I have encountered only a few good ones, yet.
The Cleveland Clincs study is one of them, but they justctested for infection and didn't include the outcome all-cause mortality or hospitalization for some unknown reasons.
The US veterans study seems to prove a lower mortality for vaccinated, but the cohort is for sure not representative.
Btw, those two showed a clearly monotonic increasing probability of acquiring a Covid19 infection with number of vaccinations.

RCT fanatism is not helpful.

What’s the incentive to disrupt the status quo unless you can capitalize more than your competitors? And incurring the enmity of the secret society of dentists and hygienists. Hehe.

Dentistry makes me crazy.
The fact that you’re casually comparing differences between users of different races to the different between people with different education levels is remarkable. You think that race is so meaningful?
While this is true, almost all are remote. And the ones that are local, typically mention this as it’s an important distinguisher.

There’s so many projects that just seem to call out to the OpenAI api even though they say something silly like “99% local.”

For me, I look for project authors to describe their work as all on device pretty early on in my filter.

Not that calls to cloud AI are bad or something, but just have very different use cases.
I'm no constitutional law expert, but Dragnets Bad, Warrants Good. See also: [1]

Whether the trampling is done by the one wearing the boot, the one cheering it on, or some combination of both is only of academic interest. The anti-due-process attitude is contrary to some of the most fundamental tenets of our legal system.

Q: If it weren't ethically dubious and of questionable constitutionality, why not just put cameras in the intersections themselves (which The Government certainly controls), rather than leasing spots on private lots adjacent to them? Why not extract this data from extant highway cameras (which The Government can surely access for free)?

A: Because, like a masked cartoon burglar hiding in the bushes, they don't want the public to know what they're doing, because they know what they're doing is Bad.

Same reason it's not a "free speech" issue to punish your boss when she tells you to clock out but keep working, or get fired.
Smaller, as Visual Studio Code has a decade of headstart and Microsoft behind them. May change long term.
Zed certainly seems interesting!

I wonder though if it's enticing enough to leave Emacs' versatile configurability and introspection abilities behind. I don't think Zed has any way to extend its behavior beyond configuration options, and if it doesn't have a scripting language to go with it now, then it seems quite unlikely it will have a good one in the future either.

Based on another comment here I did some more searching and I found this: https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions . It seems though the extension abilities are limited to dealing with different kind of files, not for really extending Zed's abilities: https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions/blob/main/AUTHO... https://docs.rs/zed_extension_api/latest/zed_extension_api/ .
How is drilling 90m cheaper than replacing a battery every year or so?
The attention to detail and completeness in the APIs was why I switched to the mac many years ago.

I find that developers who disrespect Apple and use Android, Linux, and Windows, have almost never written a single GUI app with the platform tools. Which I find baffling. The desktop environment is what you interact with all day, why wouldn't you learn to customize it?
Why do you say it should be rewarded? If anything, it should just stop being punished.
Is anyone using zed with success? I tried to use but it seemed slow to search compared to sublime.

<Lots of opinions from here on:>

Lots of features were nicer, but search is my most used feature.

From all the other possibilities, this seem the one that I am more inclined to successfully transition to.

I really liked sublime when I switched, but now it feels stuck in the past.

I am waiting for the right time to try again. If you are using and liking it, I would like to know what are the features you most like.
I think the point people have made about this is a good one, but that your take here seems very overblown.

Bob Reads a Text File
> That's why you don't ask for permission

I didn't mean agreement as permission, but as having the same judgement. One person may say bash is the simplest, another that Makefile is even better, and third person will say they'll both become a mess, and it's simplest to use Python from the start, and so on.

Reasonable people may disagree where is the line of "but not simpler". Something that is "simple" to one person, is "primitive" to another.

If someone says they have a simple and elegant solution, but it requires their skills, is it really simpler than a "dumb" solution that more people can understand? (e.g. DB vs Excel? C vs JS?).

Everyone may be in agreement that things should be super simple, but there may be a choice between simplifying implementation vs simplifying operations. Or people may disagree about future requirements and argue that a solution that is the simplest now will hit a complex scaling problem later, and the total-lifetime-complexity of the product will be minimized by another solution instead.
If it's a reasonable cost-benefit tradeoff, then they should have no problem with being held liable for it. If they are only willing to make the decision when they are able to push the cost onto someone else, that indicates it's not the right decision.
When you are looking for a font, how can you know which grapheme clusters have glyphs? Is there some classification system for fonts that let you know how complete they are?
I don't think they deserve praise, they just acted in defense of their bottom line. The game was losing players and it was being review bombed because of this change, while losing players' trust.

I'm sure they would have maintained the requirement if they could, despite the backlash. But money got in the way.
I like Zed a lot but decided not to keep it because it has a direct connection with an AI assistant via a separate AI chat window/console. I prefer my software not to have any AI in it -- at least make it something that can be removed from the interface like in VS Code (Copilot there is optional).
PSN is not available in many countries so this resulted in lots of players just being unable to play anymore.
If you can't afford sidewalks, you can't afford roads.
Not really, a big chunk of players had good reason to be angry. PSN accounts aren't available in half of the world, and the Steam listing was initially set up to allow anyone to buy the game, so many people would have been locked out of what they paid for. Steam opened up extended refunds due to extenuating circumstances but only after the controversy blew up.
